[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9158656, member: 87792"] The wizard chassis would be [I]improved[/I] if it was a bland tofu. That's what the sorcerer is, and this allows the sorcerer to put loads of flavour in the subclass. The wizard chassis has the flavour of the Spellbook and "can learn any spell".
